Weak keep - I will admit that notability is borderline with this subject. I initially became aware of Muncy when I first became involved with the Banned Books Week article where I helped resolve a dispute between two editors, then helped expand the article. Muncy was a person quoted in the article. I then looked further at his involvement as an editor and commentator, and thought an article was warranted (I think it was even suggested to me at one point during a discussion on the BBW talk page). I'm not strongly attached to the article's inclusion. I'll admit that I'm having difficulty finding more coverage of Muncy than what is already in the article. -- Atama 頭 21:16, 18 August 2011 (UTC) reply
Delete - Thanks very much for the help Atama. As I understand it, the requirement for a person's notability is that he have multiple articles written about him—specifically about what he's notable for—by reliable 3rd party sources. In the case of Mitchell Muncy, we have only one such article. The pieces he has written in the WSJ and elsewhere might themselves serve as reliable 3rd party sources on some other topic, but simply having your writing published by the Gray Lady or The New Yorker wouldn't establish your notability. It seems that Muncy received attention for his piece in the WSJ concerning banned books week, but, unhappily for his notability, it didn't cause profiles of him to be written in newspapers or other reliable 3rd party sources. Quotation of him may very well be appropriate in the article on Banned Books Week, but, as we know, that doesn't make him notable. Soonersfan168 ( talk) 15:48, 19 August 2011 (UTC) reply
Delete I got in touch with Mitchell Muncy to see if he wanted the article removed, since according to WP:DPAFD his opinion is decisive if no consensus is reached. He has in fact requested deletion (ticket no. 2009111910057475) and says to me, "I would like very much to have the page deleted." Soonersfan168 ( talk) 15:33, 29 August 2011 (UTC) reply
Delete Mitchel Muncy does not seem to fit the notability requirement. Perhaps he could be included in an article covering Banned Books Week. However, I do not believe he merits his own wikipedia page. Defensor1956 ( talk) 16:58, 29 August 2011 (UTC) reply
